Anakinra for low blood sugar after stomach removal surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a medication called anakinra can help prevent dangerous drops in blood sugar that happen after eating in people who have had their entire stomach removed. The medication works by reducing inflammation in the body, which may help regulate blood sugar levels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had your entire stomach surgically removed (total gastrectomy)
- You experience severe episodes of dangerously low blood sugar after eating
- You are willing to take an investigational medication and be closely monitored
- You have end-stage renal disease (advanced kidney disease)
